Coop has always been drawn to underground things but when he almost gets himself and his brother killed in a tunnel he dug he decides he needs to leave. Pat starts receiving recorded messages from his brothers and follows his process but then the messages stop. Pat decides to travel to NYC and search for his brother. That is where things get interesting...Pat finds out that his brother has not only gone Beneath but has traveled down into the Pod where strange things are afoot.
I felt that the style of writing was engaging...sparse text, lots of white space. It did take awhile for the story to get going but then it was action all the way. The book ended in a decent place while leaving room for a continuation - since LOD (Lord of the Deep) escaped and the 3 main characters are on the run.
As a reviewer for MSBA publication and copyright dates are important. My copy of the book has a date of 2015 but I found a reference to a 2009 edition. Anyone have any answers to that???
